Basque 'Burned' Cheesecake

Yield: 12

Author: The Skinny Fork (Amanda Plott)

An easy to make crustless cheesecake that's full of flavor and just a few simple ingredients. The 'burned' top gives a depth of flavor that's unmatched!

Ingredients

32 Oz. Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
2/3 C. Sugar
2/3 C. Natural Sweetener
5 Whole Large Eggs, Room Temperature
1 1/4 C. Heavy Cream
2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 Tsp. Salt
1/4 C. Flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a large 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper. (I also ended up having plenty of batter for a second smaller loaf, but it could have all fit in one for a taller cheesecake.) Make sure the parchment paper overhangs the edges of the pan. Set aside on a baking sheet for easy maneuverability.
Beat the 32 Oz. Cream Cheese, 2/3 C. Sugar, and 2/3 C. Natural Sweetener in the base of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes or until very smooth; scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the 5 Whole Large Eggs one at a time, beating in between each addition.
Reduce the speed to medium-low and beat in the 1 1/4 C. Heavy Cream, 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract, and 1 Tsp. Salt.
Sift the 1/4 C. Flour over the top of the batter and mix on low speed until well combined; scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan(s) and place in the oven to bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is browned and risen tall. The middle should be slightly jiggly still.
Once done, remove from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack until cooled to room temperature.
Enjoy or or set in the fridge to chill until ready to eat!
